Actually, I'm adding a whole new window for configuration (not sure why
I didn't think I needed it). However, I was hoping to go about and make
radical changes without losing the changes in my .h --- however it looks
like that isn't possible.
Thanks for the alternate route!
Cheers,
Lloyd

Okay, I want to make changes in Interface Builder (IB) without losing
all my code. Is there a CLEAN way of doing it other than saving
everything in a "secret directory"?
Huh? Do you mean, that you want to create new instance variables and
methods and have the code recreated in new .[hm] files without
overwriting the old .[hm] files?
Or are you just restructuring the GUI?
Restructuring the GUI itself will not in any way whatsoever affect the
.[hm] files and therefore there is no problem.
If you are renaming the methods and instance variables, etc. I find
that it is FAR easier to do all of that in PB and then drag the updated
.h file in to IB instead of having IB generate the .[hm] files for me.
Then you can merge or overwrite the changes and move on ...

This is what I was doing before, but it seems so...hack. Since UI's do
change over time, what is the "normal" way of doing this?
Thanks for the assist!
